Here is a picture of my new bike on a bright ,sunny day in Auckland.

That would be great and get to watch the cobbled section twice in one day. will have to look into that - good idea...

I was considering going to the cobbled stages also in northern france as i am heading to the provence afterwards but time is not on my side so may have to miss out - i am sure it would be a great stage to watch also..

Hello drystone paul - yes we could touch base nearer the time along with any others who would like to ride up to see the stage - will have to find out roughly what time they will be coming through holmes moss and what time to leave - probably want to get there early as when i used to watch the...

Hello again - yep New Zealand is beautiful and camper van is a great way to see it - i have done it a couple of times and managed to get a good chunk of it done in a few weeks. It is great for cycling out here also so if you ever come over this way somethong to consider. Not too many mountains...

Hello and welcome also - this is a great site and keeps me in touch with whats going on in europe. I had another go at winnats in july this year - it had been 20 years or so since i last tackled it and it came after 240km riding up from my nans in Luton to my mums place in stockport. I was using...

On the cinelli - What is the finish on the campag brakes - never seen that before...?

Good idea - although aren't bridlepaths more for horses and a bit rough for a road bike ? I like the idea though and will take a look at some maps to see what i can find...

Hello everyone - i am coming over in the summer to visit family and looking to ride from Luton to Stockport. I was thinking of keeping it simple and taking either the A5 or A6 mostly but would welcome any other route suggestion. This will be a one day ride so no detours for me.. Thanks and look...

Very odd indeed - like i said it is fine at first with the freewheel sprockets all tightened up and perfectly aligned then that 3rd sprocket slowly starts shifting towards the 4th sprocket. I thought the first 2 smaller sprockets are screw on and the rest are splined ,so no idea how any of them...

Well it was taken apart by the guy who built the bike up initially and then when the problem occurred it was taken to a lbs who unscrewed the cogs and re-tightened and told me it looked complete and again was good for a couple rides but the cog has now shifted over again...maybe I need to split...

Hello - looking for some help with the 6 speed Regina freewheel on my Raleigh. It has been taken apart and re-tightened but the 3rd sprocket is moving off centre after a few rides and getting closer to the 4th sprocket causing the chain to jump - just looking for reasons why it is moving off...

I had this problem on my bike with a NOS regina chain and 6 speed freewheel. Mine was jumping on the third sprocket which turned out to be off centre between the 2nd and 4th sprockets. My local bike shop removed the sprockets and then refitted them and i was told that it might not of been...

Here is a link to an OAKLEY bike for sale here in NZ ; http://www.trademe.co.nz/sports/cycling ... 854935.htm Does anyone know which champions used these? Mark

I got my look from hot cycles in st heliers ,not far from me in ellerslie and i go on their group rides which are a nice fast pace with plenty of hills to race up. I find the drivers pretty good myself ,it is some of the other cyclists that worry me - you would think some of them never drove...
